Where I am (Canada), my iPhone SE says I’m up to date with iOS 15.0.1. Are different versions available in different locations? How did you get to 15.1.3 @lgbuck62??
He is running a beta version of the OS. I am running same as you.
Maybe it is just because my iPhone is only a little over a week old. And all of the apps are completely freshly installed. I am not sure, but I am also seeing much stronger cell signal strength with this phone, and I do know that the WiFi on this phone takes full advantage of the new WiFi 6 protocols that my WiFi router offers.
And I haven’t noticed any disconnects so far.
The iPhone specs says it is running Bluetooth 5.0. But I have noticed connections at a further distance from the phone and my aids.
He is using the Beta version of 15.1. The current release version of iOS for my 12 mini in the US is 15.0.1. That said, ON is better on my phone with 15.0.1 than with any version of iOS 14 but no by any means perfect. I find things work better if I power off my phone and restart it after charging it (about once a day). I know that should NOT be necessary with a current OS and app but it is what it is and Apple and Oticon need to fix something …

@cvkemp: Chuck, you have the Rolls-Royce of cellphones, IMO. You had an SE, which is what I’m running. Tell me: how did ON perform on that platform?
No Jim I upgraded to the iPhone 13 mini, about a week ago.

Yeah - but that’s some great phone, Chuck . Granted, it’s not the Pro, but, still …

@biggar: Thanks for the tip, Stuart. I’m trying that as soon as I post this.
(The lacunae screw up my usage tracking, about which I’m fussy.)
Thanks… I have tried talking to both Oticon and Apple and they point the finger at each other… Trying to see differences between iphone 12 and 13 … besides camera, which I don’t imagine should affect connection, it appears the “A15 Bionic chip” on 13, vs A14 on the 12 . wonder if that would have anything to do with stability of connection to the app… it really is so annoying… I have to disconnect the aids numerous times a day… I might swing by Apple or Verizon but doubt I’ll get any answer if it’s worth it to switch since of course, they’re going to say : “of course, it will fix all your problems” …

Probably right - in which case, switching to iPhone 13 probably wouldn’t make a difference? I keep waiting/hoping for Oticon to update to app - thinking maybe that would help, but who knows when that will happen?

I don’t think Oticon will be able to do much about the BT getup in the iPhones, will they?
@nedunla: I’m betting there’s a difference in the BT radio chips and antennas in the newer phones. Not to mention new compromises to permit the various BT versions to work together more seamlessly.
Probably not … I just wish I (or someone) could figure out what the problem is … I have tried just turning Bluetooth off (which of course means my Apple watch is not connected to phone…) but then I just have to use button on the aids to switch program to TV adapter, but with the default TV adapter volume being so LOUD , I can’t turn it down enough to be comfortable for me to listen… audiologist has adjusted default volume in the software, but it never “sticks” …

We should get an ON app update about the end of the month. If they hold to the normal schedule. It seems to come at about the time of the VA contract renewal

@cvkemp: I hope you’re right, however, I get the feeling that the company is so focused on the core products (HAs) that they give short shrift to the ecosystem.
I think anyone making mobile-oriented products will have to adopt the Apple philosophy in order to be competitive.
Thanks… At this point, I’m leaning towards trading in my 12 Pro and getting 13 Pro … even though I’ve only had the 12 for a year … if I can indeed get the 13 Pro for “nothing” with trade in, I’m assuming/hoping it couldn’t be any worse …

I think if you get the better chip, the trade will prove worthwhile. I’m not sure that will have any bearing on connectivity, though.

When I updated to iOS15 it appeared to be a bit more stable, but that only lasted for about a day
